  • BBC Public Complaints Responses 2016.Pdf
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2016 BBC News, Coverage of the death of David Bowie, 12 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers and listeners who felt there was too much coverage of David Bowie’s death during BBC News programmes and bulletins. Response from BBC News David Bowie was by common consent one of our greatest pop stars who attracted a global following. He appealed across the ages and was one of the most influential musicians of his time. His death was both sudden and unexpected, his illness not revealed to anyone but a tight circle of friends. Our coverage tried to reflect his stature as a musician whose capacity for invention changed the shape of the industry, and the shock at his death around the world. Question Time, BBC One, 14 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers who felt the panel had a right wing bias. Response from Question Time Over the course of a series Question Time aims to achieve balance and hear from a range of voices. Each programme usually consists of one senior politician from both the Labour and Conservative party, as well as representatives from other political parties. The rest of the panel is made of political commentators, journalists, and other public figures that add a different perspective and represent a range of viewpoints across the series. We also aim to ensure that each episode has a divergent and broad range of views from the panel on the likely topics that our audience wish to raise. David Dimbleby moderates the debate to ensure panellists are given the opportunity to make their views known in a fair way.

  • 'Almost Like a Whale' by Steve Jones
    5/4/2018 Andrew Berry reviews ‘Almost like a Whale’ by Steve Jones · LRB 3 February 2000 Back to article page Data Guy Andrew Berry Almost like a Whale: ‘The Origin of Species’ Updated by Steve Jones Doubleday, 402 pp, £20.00, September 1999, ISBN 0 385 40985 0 In the introduction to Almost like a Whale, Steve Jones calls The Origin of Species ‘without doubt, the book of the millennium’. Jones is an evolutionary biologist, so this judgment could merely reflect disciplinary bias. But not only did The Origin of Species disabuse us of the notion that we humans are in some way set apart from the natural world, it also provided a mechanism, natural selection, to explain how the exquisite fit of organisms to their environment can arise without divine intervention: man deposed, God disposed of, and all in a single volume. Almost like a Whale is Jones’s update of The Origin of Species. He has followed the basic structure of the book, even retaining the subheadings, and written a modern treatment of each topic. It is thus not a simple revision of the original: Jones has done more than merely correct Darwin’s mistakes. Rather, he has written his own book about evolution, but draped it over what Darwin himself referred to as his ‘one long argument’. The product is a hybrid: part Darwin, part Jones. It has also created a new genre of literature, the non-fiction rewrite. It’s not entirely clear why Jones undertook this eccentric project. He points out that The Origin of Species is ‘a work of high Victorian seriousness’ but himself adopts a tone more in keeping with what he calls ‘these more flippant times’.

[b] Department of Psychology, University of Salford, Manchester, United Kingdom. Abstract This study was an assessment of personalised equivocation in political interviews, namely, politicians’ responses to questions which, in lieu of an explicit reply, are directed personally at the interviewer. Twenty-six interviews with recent UK party leaders were analysed in terms of questions, replies, and personalisation. The majority of personalised responses contained elements of criticism, although over a quarter were more amicable.

  • 1 Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2019 This Week, BBC One, 10 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who felt Owen Jones was treated in a disrespectful manner while appearing as a guest on the programme. Our response Following the verbal abuse which he and others had sustained from protesters outside Parliament, Owen Jones, journalist, left wing commentator and activist, used his “Take of the Week” section to give his personal take on the current state of political discourse, the rise of the far right and, as he deemed, the reasons for this. This is a prominent section of the programme in which the author gives their views unchallenged. During his video and the studio discussion which followed, Mr Jones made allegations about the Conservative Party and right wing media which some would consider contentious. As our audience would expect, Andrew scrutinised what Mr Jones said. Michael Portillo, who disagreed with Mr Jones, also gave his opinion. Mr Jones was given ample time to express his views and respond to points made to him. When Mr Jones made allegations about The Spectator magazine and Andrew’s role with the publication. Andrew legitimately pointed out that this was nothing to do with the BBC and it wasn’t right for Mr Jones to use the programme to make personal accusations against him. Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received a range of complaints following the interview of Helen McEntee. Some listeners felt the tone and content were not appropriate, suggesting a personal bias from the interviewer.

    1 THE ANDREW MARR SHOW (presented by Eddie Mair) Interview with Boris Johnson MARCH 24th 2013 Please note, “The Andrew Marr Show” must be credited if any part of this transcript is used. NB: This transcript was typed from a recording and not copied from an original script. Because of the possibility of mis-hearing and the difficulty, in some cases, of identifying individual speakers, the BBC cannot vouch for its accuracy. INTERVIEW WITH: BORIS JOHNSON, MAYOR OF LONDON EDDIE MAIR: Good Morning, how are you? BORIS JOHNSON: Very, very good, thank you. EDDIE MAIR: Before we talk about you, let’s talk about immigration which is in the papers today. BORIS JOHNSON: Sure. EDDIE MAIR: David Cameron going to make a speech in which he’s going to talk about keeping immigrant families off council house waiting lists. There’s talk of making immigrants pay to go to see a GP. Is that all good for you? BORIS JOHNSON: I think certainly, you’ve got to address the problem of uncontrolled immigration, that was really I think a function of decisions taken by the Labour Party a long time ago, that has certainly led to huge strains on the social security system, on education budgets, on housing and yes, it’s absolutely right for the Prime Minister and the government now to try and sort that out…. EDDIE MAIR: (over) Do you think it’s a good policy? BORIS JOHNSON: Well, I mean I’d have to look at the details of what they’re proposing but … EDDIE MAIR: (over) Well you’re not rushing at it with enthusiasm.

  • BBC Trust Review of Impartiality and Accuracy of the BBC’S Coverage of Science
    BBC Trust review of impartiality and accuracy of the BBC’s coverage of science July 2011 With an independent assessment by Professor Steve Jones and content research from Imperial College London Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers Contents 1. BBC Trust commentary with conclusions 3 2. BBC Executive response to Professor Jones’ report 9 3. Independent assessment by Professor Jones 14 The following appendices are available as separate PDFs on the Trust website: Appendix A: Imperial College London research Appendix B: Terms of Reference for the Review Clarification On 8 August 2011 the Trust published an updated version of Professor Steve Jones' independent review of the accuracy and impartiality of the BBC’s science coverage due to an ambiguity in the section on climate change. This reference was in the section on pages 71- 72, immediately before Professor Jones discussed statements about climate change contained in two BBC programmes. The Trust and Professor Jones now recognise that the passage as originally published could be interpreted as attributing statements made in those two programmes to Lord Lawson or to Lord Monckton. Neither programme specifically featured Lord Lawson or Lord Monckton and it was not Professor Jones’ intention to suggest that this was the case. Professor Jones has apologised for the lack of clarity in this section of his assessment, which has now been amended. 2 BBC TRUST COMMENTARY WITH CONCLUSIONS Summary Science plays an extremely important role in contemporary life. Scientific developments have the capacity to directly affect us all significantly. Debates relating to everything from climate change to medical advances to DNA technology feature prominently in our public discourse.
